Like I said in either this or another thread, if the receivers come down with a couple of those deep balls that Critchlow put right in their hands, we win this game.

If our TE (forgetting his name, it's late)

catches that deep ball that hit him in the hands on the goal line that ended up being intercepted, BYU wins the game. BYU had so much more talent than UMASS did in this game it wasn't even funny. They almost won even after getting seriously out played. There is no excuse for this game. BYU should never lose to a team like this one. This is all on the coaches. the players play the way they are coached. They played poorly but that is because they were prepared poorly.

Critchfield was sacked 7(!!) times today for -46 yards. Multiple holding penalties. The OLine did not play like the experienced group they are

To be fair, the Minutemen did come in averaging 1/2 a sack a game. So it was a pretty fierce pass rush we were going up against.

Umass' game plan was
1. Don't let Critchlow ever get comfrotable
2. Make BYU beat you with the run

BYU failed miserably to make any adjustments all game.
hard game to watch.

Frankly, if UMass had not even bothered to come up with a game plan, it wouldn’t have mattered. He way we played, coached, performed we’d still have lost.

Our D is playing bad too. I don't even know what the point is on some of the coverages. Why are the safeties standing on the goal line when they are at the 20? I don't get it. I understand bend don't break but what good does is do to be 20 yards off the ball? Also, how many times do our edge players need to be burned to learn not to dip inside when they are supposed to have the edge? I paused and showed my son how the CB by just having his head on the inside of the WR ended up in a 9 yard gain instead of a three or four yard gain if he keeps his head outside the block. And Corbin looked lost at times. I don't get how you get juked so badly when you come off the edge unblocked with a clean line to the QB and you get burned by him to the outside. Corbin you are almost 6'10, in a situation like this use a controlled rush, keep your arms up and the QB will panic and at best will throw it away. Instead you get made to look silly and he rolls out to an unobstructed view for 4-5 seconds of what is going on downfield. Just plain frustrating.
